If
AI's like DeepMind AlphaGo are already seeing things in ways we can't
comprehend, we may be too slow to recognize their true impact on our
society until after they have been integrated into it. We will no
doubt see some amazing things from AI's in our future, and because of
that amazement, we might make the mistake of allowing AI to have too
much influence over our lives. There could be a day where human
decisions no longer impact our way of life, replaced by the reasoning
of an AI considered to be far superior in intellect. The human race
has gone down this path before, with rulers convincing their subjects
that they are gods and their decrees are divine, with entire
civilizations following blindly. Even in modern times, people look to
the government and its leaders to solve all our problems for us, and
allow them to make decisions we should be making for ourselves, such
as how to raise our children or how many children to have (China).
Throughout history, leaders and others working in the government have
thought they are smarter and know what's better for people than the
people themselves. Imagine a world where the dictates of an AI are
what we follow not only because of a mandate, but because we simply
can't comprehend its supposedly superior “intellect?” We're at a
crucial turning point in history right now. What we decide about AI
today will determine what AI will be able to decide for us tomorrow.
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
